Even before Love Sonia could release across the world, actress Richa Chadha has bagged two awards for her performance. She was felicitated at the  London Indian Film Festival and the other, at the Indian Film Festival of Melbourne. Richa is one of the few people in the industry, capable of such a feat, where her work is speaking for her. The Fukrey actress plays the role of a sex worker and the Madam of a brothel in Love Sonia. She, along with actors like Manoj Bajpayee, Anupam Kher, Freida Pinto, Mrunal Thakur and Rajkumar Rao bring us the reality of the Sex Trafficking world, which is directed by Tabrez Noorani.

When offered the role to Richa, she was hesitant to the do because she was worried if the story would do justice to the portrayal of something so sensitive. She believed her director, Tabrez when he showed her the decade of research he's been doing for the film. When the actress started shooting for the film she met many sex workers, a lot of young girls, who were rescued from the flesh trade and listened to incidents that one could never fathom were even possible. After 2.5 months of shooting in different locations, depicting brutality and real stories onscreen, once done with filming, Richa headed for therapy sessions with a psychologist to help her detach from the role.
